REMARKABLE ESCAPE
or Passengers in an Accident on the Cley
lnnd j. Pittsburgh Kond.


F land l. Pittsburgh Road. .,o,I.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 1l.-A bad rail-
road smash.up occurred this morning
about J, o'clock on the Cleveland & Pitts
hurgh Railroad, just south Of the city
limits. A bridge gave way under an ex-
press train, but luckily no lives were lost,
The night express on the Cleveland l.
Pittsburgh road left the Union depot on
time, shortly after midnight, with Oon.
ductor Louis Meyers in charge. It was
composed Of the locomotive, baggage
car, an express car, q smoker, one passen.
ger coach and a sleeper. 1t met with dis.
aster at Bridge No. 9. The bridge was Of
iron, about sixty feet long and eighteen
feet above the water. The heavy rains
had swollen the creek into torrent, and
1t is supposed that the flood undermined
the stone abutments. When the locomo-
tive struck the bridge the engineer felt it
tresnble. He passed over It in safety,
however, and the baggage and express car
went over the shaky structure without
accident. The smoking car had only got
fairly upon the bridge when it sagged
downward, and with sudden shock the
train was brought to q atandstill.
Had the train been running at the reyu.
lar rate Of epeed a terrible disaster would
have occurred, but the engineer was going
very cautiously on account of the flooded
condition OF the country. The sudden
jerk threw the locomotive and baggage
and express cars over on their sides into
the ditch. The engineer, D. Sterrett, and
fireman, J. d. Hines, were thrown down
the embankment and they rolled into the
creek. The tender remained on the
track. The smoking car caught fast be-
tween the abutmenta and held partly by
the debris Of the bridge, remained mid
way between tho water and the level of
the track. Only one passenger and brake
man were in it, and they succeeded in
climbing out without injury. ar2
BaggagemasterJ John kenney was hurled
violently against the side OF the car when
it went over, and he was seriously cut
about the head. It is feared that he re-
ceiyed internal injuries. Mr.. Kenney is
an important witness against the uncaught
murderers OF Detective Hulligan. The ex-
press messenger was badly shaken up, and
escaped with few cuts on the hands and
arms. The first truck Of the passenger car
went over the edge of the abutment and
rested upon the end Of the smoker. The
car contained fifteen people, four Of whom
were ladies. Beyond a general shaking
up and bad ecare, no damage was done
them. -
Just after the accident fire broke out
among some "waste" in one corner Of the
baggage car, but it was quickly e1tin-
guieheu. Fireman Himea VIVA badlv
bruised about the legs by his fail. 4
wrecking train Was only short distance
IN the rear. It was quickly put in opera.
ton and the tracks were clear at o'clock
this morning. Not much damage was
done outside the injury to the smoking
car and bridge.

THE INTELLlGRScER Is RIGHT.

And now, Mr.. ISTELL1oEXCER, allow
me to thank you for the cautionary signals
You hang ont in to-day's issue. They are
words titly spoken, truly warning that
ehould bs carefully considered and think
by all means needed. They gain strength
who stand fast and are not swerved from
their moorings by deceitful prospects and
fallacioua hopes. True Rspublicanism is
sound patriotism and 10 one need be
ashamed or afraid to stand by it. "Thus
having chosen our cou,as without guile
and with pure purpose, let US 70 forward
withoutfear and with manly hearts,"
